A landslide induced by heavy monsoon rainfall last year lingers along the slopes of a hill on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, on May 3, 2025, as it remains vulnerable to another disaster. Like in 2024, Nepal is expected to witness above-normal monsoon rains for the second consecutive year, according to a regional consensus among South Asian meteorologists. Above-normal rains could lead to more disasters, including flash floods and landslides. A statement issued by the 31st Session of the South Asian Climate Outlook Forum on April 29 indicates that most parts of South Asia are expected to receive above-normal rainfall during the 2025 southwest monsoon season, which spans from June to September. Monsoon onset typically occurs on June 13 and withdraws by October 2. The World Bank's recent Nepal Development Update notes that severe floods and landslides from September 26 to 28, caused by unusually intense monsoon activity intensified by climate change, result in damage amounting to 0.8 percent of the GDP. The total damage is estimated at Rs46.7 billion, affecting infrastructure, agriculture, and social sectors. Agricultural losses alone reach Rs7.2 billion, with vast farmland submerged, crops destroyed, and many livestock lost.

Volunteers distribute free water to bathers during the hottest hours of the day in Molfetta due to record heat in Puglia at the First Cove in Molfetta on July 22, 2023. Italy's weather is increasingly tropical, and a new anticyclone is expected to arrive early next week, bringing more extreme heat to the peninsula. This is the prediction of Mattia Gussoni, meteorologist at www.iLMeteo.it. '''Charon Bis' is coming, a new African flare-up with the anticyclone bringing temperatures over 45?C in Puglia, with peaks of 48?C, and in Sardinia. All this heat will also warm our seas.'' The Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change predicts a water temperature of 32?C by the end of July, warmer than even the Caribbean Sea. This is, the expert explains, the ''very serious problem of Mhw, marine heat waves, which are becoming more and more frequent with sea water boiling. We have noticed this by bathing in Italy for years now, but this 2023 seems even worse than 2022.''
